Description of Private Investigations in West Virginia
Local West Virginia Private Investigator
Private Investigators in West Virginia are required to be licensed in order to conduct Private Investigation services. If your investigation requires the case to move out of state, the private investigator must still abide by any out of state licensing requirements.
West Virginia Private Investigator
A private investigator in West Virginia must apply to the West Virginia Secretary of State and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many West Virginia private investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a private investigator. Often times a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.
In the State of West Virginia, it is against the law to provide the services of a private investigator without a West Virginia Private Investigator License. You can rest assured that any West Virginia private investigator assigned to your case with ICS is an authorized sub-contractor fully licensed and insured in accordance with West Virginia State Laws and participates in the required continuing education.

ICS can provide this service and many others. Background checks are one of the most well known and useful investigation tools a private investigator can provide.
